I think I found another bug in IBMs TCP/IP CSD Level UN32131, or at least a "feature" that no longer works. Before I applied the CSD I would commonly increase the size of my OS/2 command window and then "vt100 hostname". If the remote was a Sun I could then make use of the extra rows in the window. Now it appears that the vt100.exe binary doesn't allow this, it's stuck at 25 lines/rows. Here's what I did before the CSD: 1) Open an OS/2 command window. 2) [C:\] mode co80,30 3) [C:\] vt100 hostname 4) (login to remote Sun host) 5) hostname[1]% stty rows 30 Normally, if I brought up the editor it would then recognize the additional lines in my window, which made editing large code that much easier. This, at least for me, no longer functions. Can anyone confirm this? Also I thought I'd try the above with vt220.exe and the same thing happened, although I can't be sure if it ever worked before. Also, I noticed that vt220.exe now does not pass Ctrl+C through to the remote host. When in emacs if I type a Ctrl+C emacs doesn't receive it but instead I get the familiar: "External process cancelled by a Ctrl+Break or another process" even though it doesn't actually kill the vt220 session. What's the deal with this CSD by the way? Did they totally rewrite a large chunk of it? Perhaps converting to 32-bit C or something?
